Cutting = ChurchyHy.tI Free

In the northeast corner of Trinity church,
yard, near the Soldiers monument, las
stood until the other day dead tree Tho
cutting down of this attracted a crowd The
man in charge was chatty, and said:
'It's heap more trouble to cut down &
tree in crowded graveyard than to build
brownstonc house. Yc see, we puts ropes on
oil sides as guys, and then VIC climbs up and
cuts off limb by limb, lowerin' it down very
careful, when the limbs are cut off Then we
ties rope to the top of the tree and saws it
off in four foot chunks, lettin' it down until
VIC comes to the stump, which we makes an
ornament outen it or digs it up"
The writer watched the process, and very
careful the workmen were, for on all sides
werc ancient gravestones that it would be
sacrilege to touch. In no direction could tho
tree be felled without creating havoc.-New

The New York Republican COnven-
ton.

The delegates to the New York repub-
lican convention are the ablest and the
staunchest republicans of the State.
Among them are Senators Evarts and
Hscock, Ex-senator Miller, Ex-Governor
Cornell, Levi P. Morton and other men
conspicuous in National and State Politics.
Probably no convention tor years has held
among its members so many of the bright
est and sharpest statesmen which the En-
pire State can produce. These men are
sent there for a purpose however that is
far more important than that the conven
ton may be the most prominent. These
men are sent there because the republi-
CAPS of New York feel great RESPONSE
bility resting upon their shoulders; re-
sponsibility that pertains not only to the
politics of the State, but to those of the
Nation. They look forward to the presi-
dental campaign that follows so hard upon
the heels of their State election and see the
Importance of gaining every possible
vantage ground. They look back and view
the ugly figures Of less than one thousand
majority by which the State was lost, and
which gave Grover Cleveland his seat
in the presidential chair; and
with perfect harmony and concord
they determine to intrench them
selves firmly on the old battlefield
and not only resist the enemy but drive
him off the field. The condition of the
party was never better. 1t has not a
single internal dissension. 1t has sent to
the convention-the council of warts
best representatives feeling confident that
whatever plan it may propose and what
ever candidates it may nominate, will in

proceedings of the convention will be
